On August 24, 2017, [[MAC Cosmetics]] announced that an Aaliyah collection would be made available in the summer of 2018.

Haughton dealt with the media promotion: "We wanted to create a line where the minimalism is there. You can re-create those archive looks from videos and film, but at the same time, mix, match, experiment, and imagine what Aaliyah’s style would look and feel like in 2018 and the future [...] My sister’s fans are so lovely and respectful [...] if they see something that is not approved by [the family], they attack it. They are very protective of my sister, which is heartwarming."<ref>{{cite webmagazine|url=https://www.harpersbazaar.com/beauty/a12089766/mac-aaliyah-collection/|title=We Just Caught a First-Look at the MAC x Aaliyah Makeup Collection|last=Hubbard|first=Lauren|workmagazine=[[Harper's Bazaar]]|date=April 2, 2018|access-date=May 24, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.teenvogue.com/story/aaliyah-for-mac-launch-rashad-haughton|title=Why Aaliyah for M.A.C.
